The three-hour event takes place live in Nashville on Tuesday (Dec. 13) at 8 p.m. ET/PT and now there are more ways to watch. Additional networks carrying broadcast along with GAC are AXS TV, RFD and the Heartland Network. Additionally, USA Today National Networks will host a live stream of the event on its affiliate newspaper websites.

Proceeds will support Parton’s My People Fund, which will provide monthly donations of $1,000 to families who lost their homes in the Smoky Mountain wildfires in Sevier County where she was raised.

Anyone who lost their primary residents in the devastation — renters and homeowners — are eligible beneficiaries. A pre-application process for those affected is available through the Dollywood Foundation’s website.

Fans can donate directly to the My People Fund now by visiting the Dollywood Foundation website. The number to call to contribute to the cause during the telethon is 1-866-CARE MORE. Fans are also encouraged to join the conversation on social media by using the hashtags #MyPeopleFund and #someplacespecial.

CMT’s pro-social initiative, CMT One Country, continues to support the American Red Cross in their efforts to provide disaster relief to those affected by the wildfires. Donate $10 directly to the Red Cross by texting 90999. Volunteer opportunities nationwide are also available through the CMT One Country website.
